Grabbing the yellow three-step stool from the [REDACTED] area.
What happened
The employee moved the yellow three-step stool to the rack. She climbed up the yellow three-step stool and grabbed the cylinder from the rack. She then started to move down from the yellow three-step stool but she was under the impression that she was climbing down a yellow two-step stool. The fact that the employee thought that she was on a yellow two-step stool and not a yellow three-step stool caused her to move her right foot off the stool which cause her to fall and land on a shipment of augers on her side rib cage area.
